This part covers the confirmed, jossed and crack theories of Yu-Gi-Oh! ARC-V.
- An upcoming foe Yuya is to duel will be using them, though her allegiance is of yet unknown.
- Mieru has now made her appearance, and has joined the protagonists.
- Doubtful, considering they met face-to-face in episode 15 but Sora didn't recognize him at all, and vice versa.
- They still might be somehow related. Sora mentions that the Dark Duelist isn't "from around here" and he retorts the same about Sora.
- Confirmed. Sora is part of the enemy Fusion faction Yuto has been fighting against.
- Considering that in a flashback, the Dark Duelist faced a white dragon wielded by an apparent D-Wheeler, we might have a X Y Synchro Dragon, considering the connection between Synchro monsters and D-Wheels. As he summons it, there is the same beam of light from which Synchro monsters emerge present, albeit without the green rings.
- Add to that Clear Wing Synchro Dragon, the above monster.
- Do Ritual Monsters fit in here somehow?
- Mieru Hochun.
- The series does have a few sets of this: (Yuya, Yuto, Yugo, Yuri), (Yuzu, Serena, Rin, Ruri) and (LDS trio, Reiji). However, it does seem these sets are pure as each of the Pendulum users in each set can do at least one other summoning.
- Confirmed, though they do malfunction due to changing level scales.
- And the duel gets cancelled, too, for the benefit of the protagonist. Though in this case, Reiji's victory is only implied by his set card, rather than shown as imminent with Kaito's attack.
- Later fully confirmed: he created fully working Pendulum Monsters for Sawatari.
- Make a Heel–Face Turn and join You Show as a protagonist.
- End up being plot relevant in some way.
- Somewhat confirmed in that she decided to find Professor Marco when he went missing. Which will likely put her into conflict with the Dark Duelist.
- Confirmed in that she did interact briefly with the Dark Duelist, though he was able to escape.
- Somewhat more confirmed thanks to her duels with Kurosaki and Yuzu.
- He may get Ritual Monsters. He has previously shown a preference towards main deck monsters, including having a Monarch deck (where all of their new support has the drawback of not using your extra deck).
- Confirmed, he gets Pendulum monsters. Though his necklace had nothing to do with it, as far as we can tell.
- This... actually sounds plausible.
- What!? I believe WMG's should be somewhat reasonable.
- REASONABLE? This page? I defer to the D-D being female and bisexual thing... and the D-D playing the Ukulele thing... and the bit about Yuzu having a 'massive lady-Crush on Aki's tight ass'... speaking of not making much sense:
- Confirmed, though she failed to summon it initially because she incorrectly placed in her Main Deck.
- Maestrin Schubert and Bloom Diva.
If conflict starts between the LDS and You Show Duel Schools, Pendulum Monsters will be the main weapon used by the students to protect themselves. This will mean that the Pendulum will give the other students Pendulum Monsters.Jossed. It took a lot of R&D, but Reiji eventually made working ones.
Sora is actually an agent of the big bad behind the big bad.
- Confirmed. He is evil, though how he fits into their ranks is unknown.
The rings, to me at least, feel as though they suit him. Plus, Synchro is the least used summoning method yet, only be used by two duelists so far, while Fusion has been used by 3 and Xyz by 4. Considering his aversion to Sora and the amount of problems Xyz summons brought him, it is the logical call
- If there is a monster that is both a Tuner and a Pendulum, then that would mean free infinite Synchro summons (as everything needed for it would go back to the extra deck, letting you do it again). Alternately, Yuya will get a level 8 Synchro Monster that needs Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon as a material.
- And it will be called Chaos Shooting Odd-Eyes Ultimate Beyond the Pendulum Quasar Synchro Dragon Victory and it will have the most broken effect ever.
- That sounds like a fast lane to the ban/limited list, but cool. (And C.S.OE.U.B.P.Q.S.D.V guy, let's try to be realistic here)
- I for one propose "Future Imaginary Chaos Numbers -∞ 0 ∞: Elemental Masked Vision Destiny Contrast Neo-Space Black and White Magician Girl Hero Soldier King of Darkness and Light Wishes VWXYZ Jet Catapult Cannon Tank Formula Silent Honors Blue-Red-Galaxy-Odd-Eyes Shooting Ultimate Armed Shining Ancient Power Life Abyss Prime Cyber Chimeratech Ojama Ultimate Spirit Titan Photon Tachyon Storm Judge Burning Gagaga Gogogo Dododo Zubaba Over Fortress Etheric Flame Ninja Wing Tech Genus Comet Quasar Noble Sin Earthbound Sky Puppet Sphere Atlantal Killer Medallion Savior Machine Emperor Yubel Armityle Obelisk Osiris Ra Horakthy Zushin Numerronia Holy and Unholy Sacred Wicked Funerary Temporal Blade Metal Crystal Shark Rainbow God Beast Strings Macchu Mech Disaster Caestus Sandayu Stardust Daemons Rose Fairy Tool Stream Feather Resonator Fortune Synchron Junk Different Dimension Rebellion Entermate Infernity Oreichalcos Splash Ragna Hand Umbral Lightning Ragna Masquerade Attack Top Carrier Guard Core Supra Gluon Heart-eartH Coat of Arms Mist Knuckler Tanuki Polar Pegasus Devil Delusion Gunner Beyond the Victory Roots Ray Dyson Gimmick Superheavy Samurai OOPArts New Orders Lion Roid Gadget Vice Master Legendary Ark Halberd Leviathan Fantasia Hope MAXXX the Lady Dragon Knight Ruler, Envoy of the Beginning, Twilight, and End of Heaven, Earth, and Hell LV12/Buster."
- ... I think I had this for lunch once.
- ... Somewhat more reasonably, there may be a level 1 Pendulum Tuner monster that can only be used as a material for an Odd-Eyes Synchro Monster. And there will be multiple Odd-Eyes synchro monsters, all requiring Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon as a material (and all being level 8). That would mitigate the problem of a Pendulum Tuner. Finally, they would all have effects tha would destroy themselves at the end of the opponent's turn, forcing Yuya to go back to the base form each turn.
- Problem, Level 1 monsters cannot be Pendulum Summoned. They have to be in between a scale, and there are no scale 0 monsters.
- Yet.
- At the very least, it seems that Yuya will Fusion Summon, if Beast-Eyes is anything to go by.
- Or that means it will be used in a Tag Duel that Yuya fights in.
- Possibly confirmed. Odd-Eyes Meteorburst Dragon is a level 7 synchro monster intended to be summoned with a Pendulum Tuner monster that can only tune with a dragon and can drop Odd-Eyes' level by 3 to make a level 7.
- Confirmed on Episode 79 where he will Synchro Summon the Enlightenment Paladin, a Synchro monster based from his Magician cards.
- There could be a Geargia user, who will be a Sho Expy. Much like the Roids, Geargias look like toys, but they don't need the Magic Poker Equation to be a threat.
- Geargiant X does make a cameo in Yuto's flashback of Heartland City, though anything else remains to be seen.
- Confirmed. Dennis uses this deck once he stops using his Xyz deck.
- If this is true, then the WMG about Yuzu's 'massive lady-crush on Aki's tight ass' could come true... this cannot be permitted to occur.
- Eh... kinda. It's unconfirmed, but more likely that it's a crossover with alternate universe counterparts of the other series, but a few characters from 5D's have shown up or made cameos.
- Oddly enough, Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon retains the "Pendulum" despite being an EARTH Fusion version of Odd-Eyes.
- For the Four Dimension Dragons, there is Yugo's Clear Wing Synchro Dragon and Yuri's Starve Venom Fusion Dragon. There series showed Saber (LIGHT Effect) and Odd-Eyes Rebellion (DARK Xyz-Pendulum) and The OCG reveals Odd-Eyes' other evolutions/versions such as Absolute (WATER Xyz), Vortex (WIND Fusion), Meteorburst (FIRE Synchro), Gravity (EARTH Ritual). Not to mention, there is also Rune-Eyes and Beast-Eyes for the Pendulum Dragon. Not sure if Crystal Wing counts since it is an evolution of Clear Wing and not Odd-Eyes.
- In which case, maybe Leo Corp knows about it. Which is why they want to achieve a total monopoly; they're uniting all of the summoning methods under a single banner.
- Confirmed. Fusion vs. Xyz.
- It is possible that each dimension/earth has bits and pieces of each continuity.
- This WMG is correct; among the alternate earths to be showcased will be a Supreme King conquered world as a GX AU, an EarthBound God conquered world, a Light of Destruction conquered world, a world where 'Melvin' obtained the Egyptian God cards and Millennium Items, and the world of the Abridged Series.
- Well, A wold where Malik succeeded probably wouldn't look too different from the way the show looks now anyway. The Millennium World event couldn't happen, which would probably mean that Zorc couldn't even think about escaping.
- With reference to "Fusion," "Synchro," "Xyz," and "Standard" Dimensions, it's fair to say this is confirmed.
- This WMG is correct; among the alternate earths to be showcased will be a Supreme King conquered world as a GX AU, an EarthBound God conquered world, a Light of Destruction conquered world, a world where 'Melvin' obtained the Egyptian God cards and Millennium Items, and the world of the Abridged Series.
- Loosely speaking, the YGO-verse already contains a multitude of dimensions; Earth's universe, the Dominion of the Beasts, Neo Space, the Astral and Barian Worlds, the Shadow Realm (loosely), the two dimensions from GX (the one that the Academy was sent to, then the other one). If Misawa's 'twelve dimensions' estimate in GX holds any water, that leaves four dimensions to be named and visited; five if the Shadow Realm isn't counted. There isn't really much of a reason to include alternate earths.
- Confirmed. The details are unknown, but there's at least four connected dimensions.
- Confirmed in a magazine.
- If the name Reira is any indication to his connection with Reiji. The majority of Kaiba expy's have little brothers (Kaiser, Kite, and Shark who has a little sister instead). The only exceptions are Jack and Manjoume, the latter being the youngest brother — well, Manjoume is the most poor YGO rival ever (not counting his manga counterpart). And with "poor" I don't mean money.
- Confirmed. Although the Versus Character Splash spells it "Layra."
- He revealed it to everyone during the duel.
- Confirmed: He then reveals evan more while dueling Yuto.
- It would also be cool of Yoko was Yusho's partner when he was pioneering Action Duels, which could make her a co-pioneer of Action Duel as well.
- Confirmed in the summary of Episosde 52. She challenges him to a duel.
- Maybe they are just aloof to him. Mokuba wasn't famous, and Kaiba was aloof to him at the early part of the manga. Also, when Reiji is introduced to the heroes, only Shuzou had an idea who he really was and looked it up on the internet.
- His deck could be a hint on something, since in Yu-Gi-Oh!, cards are always used as reflection of duelist soul. His main strategy is creating copies of opponent's monsters. Copies looks almost like original, but had to be destroyed at the end of phase.
- Actually, the copies are destroyed if the original monster leaves the field, which just adds more Fridge Horror in Reira's devotion on Reiji if this is true; he literally can't live without his brother.
- Confirmed in Episode 67. He was a war orphan, picked up by Akaba family and brainwashed to be a duelist.
- The LDS trio will finally regain their real memories, prompting them to confront Reiji.
- Sora is going to Fusion summon a powerful monster. The Fusion materials, two FUSION monsters.
- Sora will use the Frightfur Factory card to summon his true ace, because of Foreshadowing.
- Kurosaki will Rank-Up his Rise Falcon.
- The one on top is Jossed, Frightfur Factory one is partially confirmed because he didn't use it to Fusion Summon his ace and the other two is fully confirmed.
- Confirmed and then some. Three Fusion Monsters, two Rank-Ups.
- The one on top is Jossed, Frightfur Factory one is partially confirmed because he didn't use it to Fusion Summon his ace and the other two is fully confirmed.
- Academia is a group created by Leo Akaba, built around Fusion users (and maybe, secretly some Synchro users). Why they decided to target Heartland still it's unknown for me, but right now, For the Evulz is a reason as good as any.
- Sora was send by Academia to enroll in a LDS school in Maiami City in order to spy on Reiji, but after meeting Yuya and Pendulum summon, his curiosity and his looking for new and exciting opponents won him over and he decided to defect, or considered Pendulum a big asset in his Hunting Game and wanted to studied it closely (and in the best scenario, recruit Yuya).
- And the 2nd OP and ED suggest that Sora will join LDS. This looks very out of character, unless this reflects that Sora was originally supposed to be among LDS and will be commanded to join as he was supposed to. He probably will do it in order to search for a rematch against Kurosaki, who seems to be staying close to Reiji for a while now.
- First theory confirmed.
- Confirmed as he's a mole, although he might pull a Heel–Face Turn.
- It's implied this is quite correct.
- If Yugo really is a Synchro user. As mentioned above, it would be odd if someone whose name sounds exactly like "fusion" in Japanese would not be Fusion user.
- In the 2nd OP you can see his card plate has a white card on it— a Synchro monster. Though it's not impossible that he uses both.
- When Yugo was shown summoning his monster during Yuto's flashback, the background was similar to the one used for Synchro summon.
- Yugo is indeed a Synchro user, with two of his Synchro monsters now revealed.
- Fully confirmed, though it looks more like alternate universe counterparts of the previous settings.
- Alternatively, Yugo will ride circles around his opponent, who will be standing completely still. On. The. Ground. (Thus making it not a true Riding Duel).
- Confirmed with his duel against Yuto.
- Yeah, that happened in 5D's against Goodwin. And he even used the rules against the trio, even though, he was cheating (he attacked them with evil forces that have nothing to do with the duel).
- Perhaps more visually interesting, it could be a Turbo Duel, where he is on his D-Wheel/Duel Runner, and, through whatever power gives mass to Yuto's monsters, his opponent would be riding on a monster, like in Action Duels.
- Or rather, he will always ride his D-Wheel in an Action Duel, thus giving him a distinct advantage.
- Distinct but not necessarily powerful. He would be very good on a straight, even surface. But if the terrain is rough, or the trail too irregular, he may be better off on foot. Unless he can dock his D-Wheel with Clear Wing...
- Does attempting to run over Yuto during their duel count as an advantage?
- Confirmed as of episode 54, complete with the intro changing from Action duels to Turbo duels
- Confirmed that at least a couple of LDS members knew about the alternate dimensions.
- Yuto kind of out the of picture but you could probably count as allying since he decided to reside with Yuya. Confirmed with Kurosaki as being part of the Lancers.
- Confirmed with the bracelet, Yuzu and Ruri. All three (and their other counterparts) are crucial to Leo Abakan's master plan in some way.
- Looks like Confirmed... kind of. In preview of Ep 39 we could see how Yuya's right eye is glowing. And in Ep 25 we saw how blue star on his goggles sparked, when he fought Gongenzaka. That means at least once his eyes were glowing when he wore goggles. Though only one eye (right one) for some reason.
- And it would be revealed that she's either his sister or his crush. While Yuto wants to found Ruri, he refers to her as "his comrade and Kurosaki's sister" while Yuto says that she's precious to him, meaning that she's closer to his heart than just a comrade or childhood friend.
- Almost definitely confirmed, though the way he words it apparently means something closer to outright "girlfriend".
- Confirmed.
- It's not clear yet if she is Fusion Yuzu or Synchro Yuzu, but it's safe to say she is not Ruri.
- The hair matches the Fusion card frame, so that supports her being Fusion Yuzu. Yugo may have hinted at a Synchro Yuzu with his "what I held precious" line.
- Confirmed. The girl's name is Serena.
- Confirmed, though Serena escapes.
- Desperation, yes. Those monsters, no. Actually was Silver Claw and Cameloose.
- They are used in episode 45 for such a summon however.
- Actually wasn't the Professor talking to Leo, or am I wrong?
- Probably that was just a subordinate of the Professor.
- Silhouette in Reiji's glasses doesn't look like Professor.
- It does. You see the mirrored silhouette of a bald person with one of the glowing eyes being noticeably bigger than the other one, which is the lense that is usually on the Professor's forehead. The next images shows the un-mirrored silhouette's "full" body behind a glass panel, looking at the glowing thing that we have already seen in the end of episode 37.
- And now it is confirmed, Episode 40 states that Leo is indeed the Professor.
- If they do, Tatsuya will help Reira to rediscover the joy in dueling, just as Yuya did for him with his Entertainment Dueling. But that won't save Tatsuya of losing.
- Confirmed, but Tatsuya loses.
- Confirmed in a way. Serena's Moonlight deck consist of female DARK Beast Warrior monsters that focuses on the beatdown strategy.
Instead, it will be something more tomboyish ad straight fusiony. Perhaps the new E-Heroes, considering that she is dressed up in a sort of Slifer/Osiris Red get up.
- I doubt it will be Elemental HERO. Almost all of the good Elemental HERO cards are from the GX manga and only a few are exclusive from the card game.
- It could be a DARK archetype to clash with the Melodious archetype.
- As a possible contrast or similarity, Serena might use a music-themed deck like Yuzu. Serena's name comes from "serenade". Heck, the OCG name of Serenade the Melodious Diva is "Serena".
- Confirmed. Her monsters are the Moonlight deck, a DARK archetype.
- In before he crashes his bike into the Ryouzanpaku students, inadvertently saving Yuya.
- Dennis saved Yuya from the Ryozanpaku students.
- Confirmed, in Episode 47.
- Dennis saved Yuya from the Ryozanpaku students.
- Additionally, Yuri disguised himself as Yugo/Yuto when kidnapping their respective Yuzu's. This is so the two are too busy fighting each other to properly find their "most precious thing". Yuri could just wear Yuto's mask and goggles and Yugo's helmet to keep his most distinct features (EYEBROWS) from showing and just bait the two into finding someone who wears those clothes and has the same face as them, without suspecting a 3rd person involved.
- Yuri did kidnap Ruri and Rin, but he probably didn't disguise himself, as Yugo and Yuto's conflict seems to be more of being in the wrong place at the wrong time, as Yugo's flashbacks show that he personally viewed the invasion of the Xyz Dimension.
- Confirmed, in fact it seems Yuri did it on purpose.
- This seems likely, and I would not be surprised if Yugo showed up at the end of the tournament seeking help because Academia finally invaded the Synchro Dimension.
- That, or Academia has already invaded the Synchro Dimension, and somehow pinned it on the Xyz Dimension. Yugo suggests he doesn't know anything about the Fusion Dimension, so he may not even be aware of Academia's existence.
- Confirmed for the public at least, since there's an Academia spy confirmed to be somewhere in Synchro, but it's unclear who.
- Apparently jossed. Michio is busy dueling Halil and Olga. This role will be given to Mieru, however.
- Jossed on the fight but Confirmed that he helped out in trying to get Yuya out of his Berserk Mode.
- He left the Fusion Dimension as a refugee as he may not want to be involved in the Interdimensional War.
- He is one of the Fusion agent and is studying to use the enemy's way of attack against them.
- Bonus points if he knows/is an associate/works under Yuri.
- Counter theory: He just a person in Standard who is interested and is practicing both summons.
- So, he would be a Red Herring then? I hope that's not the case, but you never know.
- Overall confirmed. One and three are Jossed. Two is Confirmed.
- We'll either see new Frightfur/Des-Toy monsters, or see the anime debut of Frightfurs Tiger and Wolf.
- Tiger confirmed.
- See the appearance of the first new Ancient Gear fusion monsters since Ultimate Ancient Gear Golem, or we'll get to see that again.
- Yuya one shots them with his new dragon Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon.
- Yuya one-shotting them with Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon is confirmed.
- Yuya one shots them with his new dragon Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon.
- Absolutely confirmed.
- Eh, Semi-Confirmed, as Yuzu accidentally got teleported with Yugo when Yuya showed up, but seeing how easily Yugo traverses dimensions and how all of the dimensions have technology that allows them to go to another dimension, I'm fairly certain that Yuzu will be able to contact Yuya fairly quickly.
- Confirmed.
- Seeing as over a dozen people were carded and Yuzu is MIA, yeah, I'd say it was.
- Confirmed, the Synchro Dimension is even more classist than Neo Domino City at the beginning of 5D's.
- He will use a Spider Deck, since his last name is Weber.
- If the name of the episode in which he duels is any indication, he will be using B (or Bee) Forces.
- Confirmed. It's a Bee Force deck.
- Maybe it's Difficult, but Awesome. A card whose effect is unintuitive, but if you use it just so, it's actually pretty good. Jack saw some potential in Sam, and gave him the card as a test. Jack know's it's good, and Yuya will be able to use it correctly, but Sam didn't understand.
- Just the name should be enough to tell that Sam misunderstood Jack's gift big time. It's a tuner. What are tuners? Small monsters that by themselves are useless, but can create big, powerful monsters by tuning with other monsters. The whole theme in 5Ds is that Synchro Summoning is a metaphor for the weak becoming strong and evolving through determination and cooperation. I personally suspect that it's a setup for the moment when Yuya will be able to "rediscover" the true meaning of Synchro Summoning and remind the whole City what it stands for.
- This has pretty much be confirmed. Refer to Jack's backstory in episode 70 and compare the card child Jack picks up to the card he gave Sam.
- To add on: Dennis could have been stationed at Xyz as a double agent way before the kidnapping, similarly to Standard. It would explain how he knows Xyz so well.
- Confirmed exactly.
- Yeah, this seems likely. He seems suave and confident only because he has the highest authority in the land, and has the manpower to do whatever he needs to capture undesireables (who haven't shown a desire to harm anyone). If Academia decides that the lure of catching the last two renegade Yu boys, and the last two of their female counterparts, to be too great (likely, since that's what caused them to send a strike force to Standard), they may send their forces to Synchro, and suddenly the Security forces, used only to minor criminals, now have to deal with an entire army, who is not afraid to shoot to kill. That may cause Security to break ranks and run away, while Academia starts carding Tops and Commons alike. Basically, Roget is too focused on maintaining the status quo to be an effective villain in the face of someone with more drive like Leo.
- Alternatively, the writers will chose to be more realistic and yet more complicated, and have Rodger realize that Academia is a genuine threat, but still be a pain in the butt. He'll cooperate just enough to provide a valuable ally, but his prejudice and long-term goals will occasionally interfere with goals that aren't completely aligned with the war. For example he'll have soldiers recruited from commons and treated like Cannon Fodder, fighting Academia while keeping the Commons down. This would be far more interesting, because the Lancers can't just outright declare him an enemy and get rid of him, yet he'll push conflict and continue being an antagonist for a long time (and possibly lead to some deeper political sub-plots that could be very interesting). Instead of wondering, "when can the heroes fight this guy so they can kill him?" The audience will wonder "When will the heroes catch this guy with his pants down so we can FINALLY get rid of this asshole?" Because villains get so much more hate when the characters aren't allowed to stop them than when taking them down is an active goal the heroes pursue.
- Confirmed, even though he is working for Leo. Roget is actually a defector from Academia.
- Confirmed, but it's a test from the Council, not Roget.
- Confirmed.
- Roget seems pretty against Yuya and co from having a proper hearing and is at least distraught to hear the possibility of an alliance with Lancers. And considering Serena had some "special treatment" when confined in the detention centre (a better kept facility compared to Kurosaki's and Yuya's group), it wouldn't be surprising if Academia had spies scattered out through each dimension. If the Council does side with the Lancers, he may pull the theory above
- Confirmed alongside the above. He was a spy until he defected.
- Confirmed in Episode 79.
- It should be noted that the "Yu" in Yuya (遊) and the "Yu" in Yuzu (柚) are actually two different Japanese characters, and though they sound similar in English, they have different meanings in Japanese.
- She at least wants to be; she faced down Sawatari with every intention of beating him, and is similarly motivated to beat LDS. Time will tell how much she will get to duel, though.
- Alternatively, she'll just be the other major duelist besides Yuya; essentially the Jounouchi to his Yugi.
- In episode 8, Himika states the You Show vs. LDS duels will be 2 out of 3. Episode 9 has Yuya victorious. Episode 10's preview states that Yuzu misplays. Episode 11 states that Gongenzaka duels. In other words, Yuzu is thrust out of her duel and loses her next, after just one victory. At worst, this may be premature Chickification the likes of which happened to Aki in 5D's.
- Her bracelet glowing the way it did in Episode 7 shows that it seems to have some kind of power, though what it is hasn't been explained - just like most of the previous protagonists having some kind of magical accessory, though not in the form of a pendant or necklace in her case.
- Per ep. 18, it seems to force-teleport Yuto/Dark Duelist around. In 18, he was teleported to where the other Dark Duelist, Kurosaki, was dueling Tio from LDS. WHY it teleports him is another matter entirely.
- Confirmed. Yuya is the protagonist, Yuzu is the deuteragonist and Reiji is the tritagonist.
- Yuya vs Crow, Yugo vs Shinji, Dennis vs Yuzu, Sergey vs Serena
- Alternatively, Yuya vs Crow, Yugo vs Serena, Shinji vs Yuzu, Sergey vs Dennis.
- Yuzu vs Sergey is the only confirmed duel.
- Recent previews have confirmed two of the match-ups: Yuya vs Shinji, Kurosaki vs Crow. This means the final fight will be Yugo vs Serena.
- Alternatively, Dennis will be arrested and held separately by the council because Reiji either told them to or something that happened during the duel convinced them he was too dangerous to just throw away, or too useful. The spoiler notes do say that he's taken into custody, so either he wins or he's arrested.
- Semi-confirmed, Roget, who defected from Academia, sees to it that he personally takes care of Dennis but he doesn't succeed in grabbing him. Sora does rescue Dennis and teleports him back.
- Confirmed.
- Confirmed. He becomes the new King after defeating Jack Atlas.
- Confirmed. However, neither Thorn Overserver - Van Darli Zuma, nor Tuning Magician were used.
- Confirmed. Barrett used a new Beastborg monster that's stronger than his Panther Predator... in terms of ATK.
- Confirmed in episode 104.
- I'd like to hope he'll get a RUM card by plausible means - from Kurosaki (or, less likely but still possible, Dennis).
- The spoilers for episode 46 heavily implies this. Maybe an almost literal ass pull; he gets this card from Yuto's soul.
- He pulls it out of Yuto's soul's ass?
- Jossed. At least for episode 46. According to the preview, it looks like Yuya will summon Odd-Eyes, then use the two new Magician's effects to give Dark Rebellion a Level equal to its Rank and then makes it equal to Odd-Eyes's, so he can overlay them.
- Serena carding Dennis may be a trigger for this.
- Confirmed in Episode 104 with Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon.
- Confirmed. He's knocked into a Convenient Coma for a while, but eventually returns.
- Another would be Yugo ending up within the vicinity of Academia.
- Confirmed for both.
- Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon & Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon. As Odd-Eyes Rebellion has more resemblance to Dark Rebellion, Odd-Eyes Raging could be an inverted version of it, having a stronger resemblance to Odd-Eyes Pendulum.
- Confirmed.
- Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon & Dark Requiem Xyz Dragon. Since Odd-Eyes Raging is essentially more powerful than Odd-Eyes Rebellion, and Dark Requiem is Dark Rebellion's upgraded form, it is possible that Odd-Eyes Raging is an indirect upgrade to Odd-Eyes Rebellion.
- Odd-Eyes Pendulum Dragon & Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon. While more difficult to pull off, it's not a stretch that Yuya could have both of them on the field. Odd-Eyes Rebellion already represents wrath, and Odd-Eyes Raging seems to take it even further, going from wrath to violence. It would be a direct evolution, and since only little of Dark Rebellion is inside Odd-Eyes Raging, Odd-Eyes Pendulum is clearly dominant.
- And there was Rio by Abyss, too (though Aki was more indoctrinated than brainwashed). Perhaps Ruri is already or will be brainwashed as well?
- I meant the main female leads. Rio and Ruri aren't main females. Also, it's explicitely mentioned by Divine that he "mind-controlled" Aki.
- I forgot to mention that Anzu was brainwashed by Shadi in the manga, too.
- Confirmed in episode 124 and 125, albeit only for a short time.
- I like this theory, let's expand it a little. Sora was a student in Academy, he is from Obelisk Blue (his jacket is part of uniform, which was slightly altered with time). He is also an illegitimate son of Sho (because... hair). He also was named Sora in honor of victory over satellite SORA what almost destroyed Earth.
- Unlikely. Sora knows a lot about Synchro and Xyz summon. Those way of summoning didn't exist in GX times.
- Even less likely now, considering he's (probably) from Heartland City.
- He's presumably not from Heartland, since it is a city of Xyz Duelists; he merely targeted Heartland because of that.
- Partially Jossed. More like Dimension Traveler, but Duel Academia is shown in a recent episode as the home of Academia, the ruthless invaders who destroyed Yuto and Kurosaki's hometown Heartland City. And they're explicitly said to have trained students to be sociopathic "Duel Soldiers".
- If so, then Sawatari may now have Pendulum monsters of his own in his deck, if they got "infected" by Stargazer & Timegazer Magician.
- Considering he changed decks to Monarchs, I'd say no on that.
- Jossed. They're either pulled out of thin air or manufactured, just like any other card.
- ...either Yuya's long lost brother/ half brother or an alternate-dimensional Yuya
- I'd like to think they wouldn't do a Z-One thing again
- It should be noted that Z-One wasn't actually a future Yusei. It was a completely different person that made himself look like Yusei.
- What I meant was I hope they don't do something like that again, seeing as no one liked that twist as oppose to 'evil future Yusei'
- I'd like to think they wouldn't do a Z-One thing again
- ...a manifestation from Yuzu's subconscious that has taken a life of its own. She kept having intense heart pounding reactions to him, and her bracelet glowed around him, there's definitely some sort of connection between her and him.
- ...Yuya and Yuzu's son from a ruined future. Hence why he resembles Yuya and also is protective of Yuzu.
- And Sora is from the future to.
- And Ruri isn't Yuto's girlfriend; she's his sister.
- Actually, Ruri is Kurosaki's sister.
- Confirmed about the ruined part, "future" is unclear.
- Josseled that he is their son.
- Someone who has watched the entirety of the other four Yu-Gi-Oh! series. His Deck has at least 1 Mystical Space Typhoon, which on it's own would win practically every important Duel in the entire Franchise by killing the Heel's primary Spell/Trap card, ruining the quote-unquote "unbeatable" combos the baddies rely on.
- He also realizes (unlike Sawatari's minions) that Xyz Summoning is not some kind of Dangerous Forbidden Technique meant only for the highest level duelists, but something anyone can figure out relatively quickly, and should use if it fits their deck.
- Female, and attracted to both Yuya and Yuzu.
- That.....would be a bit hard to pull off. I'd give them props if they did....but somehow I don't think any gender shocks are in the future.
- No, no, dude, this is definitely gonna happen.
- Everyone, I have some bad news... As you all know, in the years note that Arc-V has been airing- YEARS! That Arc-V has been airing, the exact identity and gender of the Dark Duelist has been a mystery. It is a mystery no more, and I am truly saddened to reveal to you all that... this theory has been Jossed... I know that this is troubling news, but we must simply... 'breaks down crying'...
- ...planning the downfall of LDS. He took advantage of his resemblance to Yuya, who he saw on TV, and specifically targeted Sawatari due to his father being a high-ranking official in order to spark the war between You Show and LDS, confident that You Shou, especially Yuya, would win, possibly destroying the reputation of LDS. His motive is to punish LDS for keeping the strongest cards to themselves and treating them as only good enough for the elite. His ace's name hints to this (Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon), as does one translation of its summon chant containing the phrase "rebelling against the power of stupidity" (referring to LDS's overconfident elite).
- An alternate version of Yuya that came from the pendulum he wears. Something happened to Yuzu in another timeline and that along with his daddy issues drove him to being more cynical. His Dark Rebellion dragon is an Xyz version of Odd-eyes dragon.
- The 'alternate universe' idea seems to be getting more credence, as we've seen a ruined timeline where Yuto (Dark Duelist) was fighting a White Duelist on a D-Wheel, and Kurosaki (the second guy) was there too. They also mentioned a 'Ruri' and she seems missing. So Yuto is alt-Yuya, Ruri is alt-Yuzu (which is why he is caring about her) and... we have no idea about Kurosaki.
- A cynical and heartbroken future Yuya, who witnessed Yuzu's death at the hands of the Leo Corporation. He then tore up his Pendulum and Entermate cards, broke his necklace, and disowned his father, blaming them on the grounds that if he had never Pendulum summoned, Leo would have never come after him, thus avoiding Yuzu's death. He builds a new deck and enters a strained homosexual relationship with Shun Kurosaki in order to travel to the past to try to save Yuzu. However, Kurosaki dies, and Yuya will find out that You Already Changed the Past, leading to him Jumping Off the Slippery Slope, so he goes back even further to orchestrate the Zero Reverse in Z-One's timeline, prompting Z-One, Antimony, Paradox, and Aporia to also go back in time, the four of which are stopped by Yusei. He travels back even further by thousands of years, losing his humanity and manifesting as Zorc Necrophades. After being defeated by Atem, he reincarnates himself as both Darkness and the Light of Destruction. Being defeated once again, he recollects his fragments and travels back to the creation of the universe, gathering the chaos ejected from the Astral World as they attempt to Rank-Up, and using its power to create the Barian World, claiming himself as its god, Don Thousand.
- Alternatively, he goes to the Astral World and attempts to stage a bloody uprising using the power of Chaos, but is defeated by Eliphas and Astral. The Astral World, now paranoid because of Yuya/Don Thousand's abuse of Chaos, decides to banish it entirely from their realm, making him the sole reason for the segregation of the Astral and Barian Worlds, and the strife between their denizens.
- In light of the possible connection of Marco's kidnapping with the Dark Duelist, this Troper has realized that Marco was the one specifically responsible for Yuzu's death, out of revenge for his kidnapping, which ties in to how Yuya Already Changed The Past.
- If you're still following this particular WMG, you may now be wondering "How could Marco kill Yuzu if his soul was sealed into a card?" The answer is straightforward: ... He got better.
- Belligerent Sexual Tension between Yuto/Kurosaki confirmed!
- ...a split personality of Yuya's, one where his pessimism overrides his joy, that somehow exists separately from Yuya. As both are technically Yuya, they share certain qualities, one of which being their care for Yuzu. The difference is, while Yuya thinks Yuzu can handle herself, the Dark Duelist is not willing to take that chance and puts himself in her place on the battlefield. The Dark Duelist's Perpetual Frowner persona represents an inner doubt of Yuya's that, regardless of what he tries, even his own smile may vanish forever.
- Like ZONE for Yuya. You know how ZONE traveled back in time to prevent his own dark future from happening, and he underwent plastic surgery to look like Yusei in order to drive him insane?
- I... don't think they'll reuse a plot-line...
- Not A Villain. Instead, he simply wants to start a band with Yuya/Yuma/Yusei/Judai/Yugi/Yami, and wants every character, major and minor, from the past four series as his Roadies. Personally, I think that Aki/Anna/Astral/Asuka/Otogi would make especially awesome Roadies... The instrument that the D-D wants to play? The ukulele.
- Actually Yuya himself from the present time. Either in the form of a Superpowered Dark Is Not Evil Side or that Yuya is just Obfuscating Stupidity. Before his father disappeared (thanks to the Leo Corporation), he gave Yuya another deck and instructions to Take Up My Sword.
- A wandering shipper trying to make sure Yuya and and Yuzu have the sex.
- Dude, that's even less likely than my Ukulele thing...
- His ploy is that by looking like Yuya, he deliberately fools her into thinking he is Yuya, as well as conveniently timing his exits with his entrances. Thus, he will make Yuya as badass as possible while demonstrating protectiveness towards Yuzu, thus increasing her attraction towards him.
- Furthermore, the D-Wheeler in his flashback shipped Yuzu with Masumi, and the duel between the Dark Duelist and him was actually Ship-to-Ship Combat.
- A descendant of Mizael. A dragon tamer with supernatural powers and a competent Xyz duelist. Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon has a very similar color scheme to No. 107: Galaxy-Eyes Tachyon Dragon and uses the same roar sound effect. Additionally, he has a motorcycle riding opponent clad in white, who wields what appears to be a Light Dragon monster that uses the same roar sound effect as Galaxy-Eyes Photon Dragon.
- Yuzu's biological brother, who has come to look for her, and her actual name is Ruri. However, as Maiami City is better than his home, he decides to stay and protect her from afar.
- A reincarnation of Yuya, sent back in time through the Pendulum to get what he needs to save the world and pass on. Basically, Yami, from the opposite side of the timeline.
- Droite and Kaito's son, from ZEXAL. I mean, he has the eyes and hair, even the damn upright hairstyle.
- A person from the real world who plays the card game and managed to somehow enter the TV show in order to make the show match the actual card game more. That MST speaks for itself.
- It's very unlikely, but you never know.
- Jossed.
- Confirmed. The Dark Duelist attacked Fusion Professor, Marco.
- Not quite confirmed yet. It might have been Shun Kurosaki, a new character who is said to know the Dark Duelist and to have attacked LDS.
- A flashback shows the Dark Duelist and Kurosaki apparently working together, and Kurosaki is shown to be able to seal souls into cards, which is shown to the fate of Marco as well as one of the main investigators in Marco's disappearance. Additionally, the claw marks Kurosaki's monster makes are identical to the ones that were at the site of Marco's disappearance. So while the Dark Duelist is not directly responsible for the attack, he's involved in some way.
- Jossed-ish. It was in fact Kurosaki who attacked Marco.
- ... Only to topdeck Mystical Space Typhoon and use it to destroy a Spell/Trap (or even Pendulum!) card that was integral to his opponent's combo, allowing him to secure victory.
- Yuto and Michio both enter the tournament. They face each other. Yuto uses MST on Food Cemetery. Michio cries, his strategy totally ruined.
- Oh for the love of God in heaven! When will these Mystical Space Typhoon guesses end?!
- Never, because an anime character simply using the card is an instant level in badass.
- Did it make Shark from ZEXAL more badass because he used it once? Just asking not arguing.
- Yes, it certainly helped enforce his badassery (Face–Heel Revolving Door tendencies aside).
- Yuto and Michio both enter the tournament. They face each other. Yuto uses MST on Food Cemetery. Michio cries, his strategy totally ruined.
And it we go by the theory that Sora is a time traveler: the reason why he was so hesitant to teach her was because he knew that she was destined to use Xyz in the future. He's teaching her Fusion so she can get stronger, because in the future, she's likely saving the world ala every main character (that duels) ever in the franchise.
- It is not impossible she can do both.
- Also, she has an Xyz counterpart, so this theory is probably jossed.
Under the pressure of the King and Queen of Games and being in the pro-leagues, one thing led to another, and the little guy was a teenage pregnancy. His hair-color and eye-color supports it (have a chart for ease of reading):Yuya: Green (and red) Hair - Red Eyes | Yuzu: Red Hair - Blue Eyes | Sora: Blue Hair - Green Eyes
He was sent back in time to preserve their timeline; what would happen if he doesn't is unknown, but the possibilities are largely narrowed down to (A) harmless alterations of history or (B) a Reality-Breaking Paradox.
- Jossed, despite the setup suggesting it.
- Someone who deliberately orchestrated an isolated Zero Reverse incident to destroy Heartland City.
- and he is a hero for precluding any possible suffering of Yuma's dub voice.
- That, or that's what caused him to be Driven to Villainy and vengeful, which makes him a reasonably sympathetic Anti-Villain.
- Going to show up in the main.....timeline? Dimension? Whatever it ends up being as one of the main antagonists.
- A user of both Synchro and Fusion monsters.
- Jossed.
- Yuzu Hiragi - Susie Harrison
- Jossed. Her name is confirmed to be Zuzu Boyle.
- Reiji Akaba - Ronald Akers
- Rage.
- It's confirmed to be Declan. Will his father and brother be renamed too? Desmond and Denzel, or something like that.
- His last name, Akaba, is still the same, though.
- It's confirmed to be Declan. Will his father and brother be renamed too? Desmond and Denzel, or something like that.
- Sora Shiun'in - Sunny Sheldon
- Most likely Sky or Skylar
- It is confirmed to be Sora Perse.
- Noburo Gongenzaka - Gerald Norris
- Bob Gerald
- It's confirmed to be Gong Strong.
- Bob Gerald
- Shingo Sawatari - Soren Smith
- Jossed. His name is Sylvio Sawatari.
- Himika Akaba - Helen Akers
- It is confirmed to be Henrietta Akaba.
- Masumi Kotsu - Julie Belle
- Almost. It's Julia Krystal.
- Hokuto Shijima - Astro North
- It's confirmed to be Dipper O'Rion! (Northern Star theme is still there, though)
- Yaiba Todo - Blade Torrence
- Close. His name is Kit Blade.
- Shuzou Hiragi - Samuel Harrison
- It's confirmed to be Skip Boyle!
- Ruri - Lily
- Almost. Her name is Lulu.
- Shun Kurosaki - Sean/Shawn Blackhawk
- It is confirmed to be Shay.
- Yugo - Fyuse
- There's no reason for Yugo's name to be changed in the slightest, seeing as he's a Yu- character.
- Do we need to assume the worst? They only slightly changed the names of several 5D's characters (and some for the better if you ask me) and if the Yu in Yuzu's name is significant, they might try to keep it in. It's too early to say though. So we will see.
- Yes, because this troper is The Cynic. And 5D's had a lot of English or otherwise non-Japanese names, like Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan, Rex Goodwin, etc. Aki's name change was stupid, several others were just blatant Americanization. Even Duel Monsters and GX had a field day with Americanization, and as for ZEXAL... Reginald Kastle. Enough said, really.
- Or Adrian Gecko (lampshaded by Manjoume/Chazz). Or Anna Kaboom.
- This troper sees "Soren" as an improvement over "Shingo".
- This troper was too tired to come up with another S-name that was noticeably Americanized at the time.
- He's always called by his last name, anyway.
- If you ask me, the names of Yuzu, Sora and Reiji are probably safe from being altered too badly: the others have a decent chance of being altered though.
- Actually this troper would like to point out that in the last few years unless your name is overly Japanese, the Dub names are... reasonable. Main character stays the same, the main female tends to have a similar name (Yuzu is difficult to work with mind you), the main rival will have their names unchanged (Kite. Kaito is the pronunciation people. And technically Shark, no-one calls him Reginald/Ryoga aside from his sister.) If you have an English Name you're safe (Jack Atlas.) and most other characters either get sorted with similar names (Luka and Lua become Leo and Luna. Easier for kids to remember,) have their names almost unchanged (Kat,) or have it changed to something fitting (Flip). If one wants to argue on the details Bronk Stone is a name word linked with stone/metal family name (Tetsuo is Iron)... and don't ask me why they changed Takashi/Caswell. From one relatively standard name to another.
- It doesn't really make sense in the case of explicitly Japanese characters who live in Japan itself. Granted, changing the names does make more sense in the case that the dubbing company caters the show towards kids, unlike the original demographic.
- And what was the reason to change the names of Johan Andersen (Jesse Anderson) or Austin O'Brien (Axel Brodie)?
- Apparently, even Johan and Austin too exotic for North American viewers. Too European, maybe.
- But they always call O'Brien by his last name, anyway.
- Troper who posted the text block above here. Johan, Austin and Declan all fall under the Caswell argument. That is, the argument of stupefying me. Although I would like to note that Gong is continuing another dub name tradition, shortened, similar sounding, names. Jounouchi becoming Joey. Jou-ee.
- Actually, so far, the names honestly aren't horrendous. Gong is a shortened one, Ally for Ayu is relatively similar, Hokuto is Dipper, which retains the meaning of his original name (meaning "Big Dipper"), and though it might not be clear at first, Reiji to Declan is actually reasonable - they're both "rich kid" names (see Ace Attorney's Reiji Mitsurugi to Miles Edgeworth name change). Additionally, Yoko seems to be keeping her name, so we'll see about characters like Yuzu.
- Gong and Dipper aren't names; they're objects. Ally is pointless, considering how easy Ayu is to pronounce. Declan loses the "zero" Family Theme Naming pun; even if it is kept in only as a Bilingual Bonus, the change still devalues the original. And Skip Boyle is just terrible. It's confirmed he's an adult; so it's most likely Nico Smiley (dumb, but not THAT dumb), or Shuzou.
- Yes, because this troper is The Cynic. And 5D's had a lot of English or otherwise non-Japanese names, like Jack Atlas, Crow Hogan, Rex Goodwin, etc. Aki's name change was stupid, several others were just blatant Americanization. Even Duel Monsters and GX had a field day with Americanization, and as for ZEXAL... Reginald Kastle. Enough said, really.
- Jossed for Masumi. She lost to Yuzu.
- Jossed for Yaiba as well.
- Jossed. His deck is more like Yuya's, focusing on the Phantom Knights monsters, but with "Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon" as the ace.
- Even though Yuto recognizes that Yuzu isn't Ruri, he initially takes the Polymerization card from her because he wants her to use Xyz like Ruri (possibly) did. He wants her to be a replacement for Ruri, even if he knows that they're not the same person.
- He didn't actually take the Polymerization. He seems to have dropped it or put it back, since Yuya picks it up at the end of the episode, it having been missed when he put Yuzu's deck back in her duel disk for her.
- Sora gave her two copies (if not three). We see a second copy as she looks through her deck in episode 18.
- On the flip side, he said it didn't "suit her" because Ruri used it, and something happened to her as a result.
- From what I saw so far, while Yuto does seem to be stalking her, I don't think he'd go that far. Mr. Shun 'I will steal people's souls' Kurosaki, on the other hand.....
- Jossed. He mentioned Fusion as being their enemies' summon, but he's glad to see that she is using it to protect her own friends and secure her own future. He's actively trying to rescue Ruri from, according to Kurosaki, the captivity of Leo Akaba.
- As much as I'd like to jump on this one, Haruto's hair is much lighter in coloration, and his supernatural powers disappeared after he was released from Vector's Demonic Possession. He's also really not the angry, bitter type, unless Kaito died. But in that case, he probably would be using Galaxy/Photon as opposed to Raid Raptors. On the other hand, a small part of this troper would be perfectly okay with him suddenly summoning any of the Galaxy-Eyes, Continuity Snarl aside.
- Well, Kaito did have a heart condition.
- That was a result of overuse of Photon Change when hunting Numbers. Haruto was the one with Soap Opera Disease, but apparently Demonic Possession and then being relieved of it cured him.
- Jossed. There is no mention of Haruto and Kaito having a sister.
- Well, Kaito did have a heart condition.
- For using a 39 card deck, as a result of her not realizing Yuya took one of her Polymerizations. Thus, a whole clusterfuck of events is set off which could have been easily avoided if the writers were not so hellbent on screwing over the female characters.
- Can we just assume for a moment the writers are not that bad. 5D's issues with Aki were not as much their fault as the guys in change saying 'Blackwings are selling like ramen at a Naruto convention, make Crow a major character'. Plus deck counts aren't really something that comes up in the show outside of Battle City's final and duels with deck out strategies.
- The writers have a repeated tendency to shaft the supporting cast, but the females generally have it worse than the males, Executive Meddling aside. The last 20 or so episodes of ZEXAL, despite being a decent series up until then, went to crap because of the poor execution of the plot and undramatic slaughter of nearly the entire supporting cast. Granted, the duels were great, and even some of the character development was decent as well, but it was largely disappointing. Rio gets hit especially hard by this, even before the arc starts. Anna and Droite also are subject to this. Furthermore, even if they wanted to promote Crow to the forefront in the case of the 5D's anime, they didn't have to in a manner that completely and absolutely undermined Aki's role in Team 5D's. And the 40-60 card deck rule has been long established in the OCG/TCG. It's not unrealistic to assume that this would carry over to the anime.
- In episode 22, she's seen looking for her card back at the docks, so she's aware of losing it. Plus, in episode 23's preview Yuya realizes he put Polymerization in his deck by accident and realizes his mistake. So chances of her card being returned are high. Plus, she should have extra cards. What replaces her field spell cards (When her cards were dropped, "Sanctuary in the Sky" can be seen. Action Duels require a special Field for players to move around and actually use action cards) when she's in an Action Duel?
- This troper doesn't understand Japanese, so it was assumed she was looking for Yuto or something like that. And the reason she had Sanctuary in the Sky was because she wasn't dueling in Action Fields— she was purposefully avoiding You Show Duel School in favor of training at the docks with Sora. Granted, this WMG came about on the basis that she'd be too shaken up by her repeated incursions with Yuto to realize her deck was below the limit when building it for the tournament.
- Considering she was looking for the card in episode 22, I'd say there's a good chance she won't be kicked out for a lack of cards. She'd aware of it, and likely can just substitute something else in, like a Mystical Space Typhoon as some people on this page fanboy.
- Jossed. Yuya returns her card after his duel with Mieru. So there's no problem.
- Never the Selves Shall Meet is the trope you're looking for.
- Jossed. They meet in episode 35.
- What would occur would result in a massive paradox causing ARC-V to go from a Shounen anime to a Boys' Love anime.
- Well, that one almost happened...
- Or it ends up like the last Scooby Doo program, with reality resetting to the starting series, or something like that.
- Jossed. Yuya is forewarned about Yuto's appearance and appropriately weirded out, but Yuto barely reacts at all.
- Well, technically, something strange does end up happening...it just takes Yuto losing a duel and Yuzu's bracelet turning up at the same time to happen.
- Likely Jossed, as Yuya has now used Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon, courtesy of Yuto and his Superpowered Evil Side.
- Jossed forever now that Hokuto was carded.
- Next is Masumi, whom he will encounter separate from Yuzu, and Yuto will be too busy stalking Yuzu to restrain him.
- Hokuto and Yaiba, in no particular order, will follow because they'd notice Masumi's absence. Alternatively, they may try to 3v1 him and still become subject to The Worf Effect.
- Confirmed, since he does duel them in episode 24.
- And smashes all 3 into dust on his second turn, which he starts off with no hand, no field, and 10 LP. Also Yuto was with Yuzu elsewhere at the time.
- Very eventually will be Reiji Akaba.
- Kurosaki encounters Reiji, but whether or not the duel will commence immediately is unclear.
- It doesn't, Kurosaki instead becomes an Enemy Mine for Reiji, at least for the Tournament Arc.
- Furthermore, Kurosaki didn't ever have a hit-list so much as he was trying to draw Reiji's attention.
- The duel will be interrupted before it can end, or if they lose they will be saved by Yuto first.
- One of the boys, mostly likely Hokuto since he's done less than the other two, will undergo a Heroic Sacrifice to save his friends.
- Both Jossed, he One Turn Kills all three of them with his ace, Raid Raptors Rise Falcon.
- Alternatively, they're both clones from the same source. The point is, Leo Corporation had a department attempting to genetically engineer superpowered duelists, but, for whatever reason, Yuya came up short. Yusho, working in the department, took pity on him and adopted him, raising him as his own son. However, Yuto escaped, prompting Leo to call in Yusho to help track him down, otherwise he would have to forfeit Yuya for testing to replace Yuto. Not wanting Yuya to be caught up in all of this, Yusho disappears without a trace, in order to capture Yuto, so that he can keep Yuya safe from Leo.
- Jossed. They're alternate universe versions of each other.
- He will discover Pendulum Synchro.
- Discover the power of Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon
- Tie or Win, but a technicality allows Gongenzaka to be in the tournament anyway.
- The qualifications are based on win percentage. Yuya was just shy of meeting the requirements, but Gongenzaka has probably won enough that he can still qualify even after losing to Yuya.
- Jossed, but Gongenzaka still has time to get a few more duels in to fix that. Confirmed, he made it in time for another episode.
- Sora used to work for Yuto's enemies, but decided he didn't want to fight anymore and left for Maiami City.
- However at some point he'll either choose or be forced to rejoin and become an antagonist.
- Partially jossed, he's a part of it, and no defection yet.
- Actually, the true GX Fusion Summoning he will learn is Contact Fusion. Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon is a Contact Fusion Monster.
- Apparently, Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon isn't a Contact Fusion Monster in the anime.
- In the real life game, it turns out that Special Summoning this card with Contact Fusion is optional. This card can be Fusion Summoned with a Fusion card as well.
- Apparently, Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon isn't a Contact Fusion Monster in the anime.
- There will probably also be an Accel Synchro and CXyz version of Odd-Eyes.
- Jossed, he got XYZ before Synchro. It is instead a case of Yuya's summoning methods evolving as the Arc-V series revealed them. (Fusion with Sora, Xyz with Yuto and Synchro with Yaiba).
- He will be an Affably Evil Punch-Clock Villain, as a foil to Kurosaki and Yuto.
- Or otherwise not be as bad as he appeared to be in the flashback.
- He feels like he is the underdog, just trying to survive against the onslaught of Xyz users.
- Confirmed, with a hefty dose of klutz and goofiness that seems like the end result of having Yuma in Yu-Gi-Oh 5D's.
- Actually Jossed, as he's not a villain at all.
- Why not both?
- Jossed, at least with regards to not being a Synchro Duelist. In the 2nd opening a white Synchro card can be seen on one of his D-wheel's monster zones. Another Synchro has been revealed in his deck from a recent magazine scan, and his dragon's name has been revealed.
- Looking at those cards, they rely on a duelist using Fusion, Synchro and Xyz summons in perfect tandem, plus they don't look so powerful that they'd be better seen in their dad's hands so it looks like Reira can have them. The only problem is that none of them explain what Reira is doing in that preview.
- Jossed. Reira seems to be using a CC(C) deck that copies the opponent's monsters.
- Due to the reactions of Masumi and Kurosaki in the preview, the memory erasure will be broken when Yuzu tells them.
- The duel will end up in a draw or canceled because of this.
- Or Masumi will lose because her scrambled memories make her sick or something.
- If she does regain her memories, she will be dismissed by the rest of LDS and be ostracized and thought of as hallucinatory. Reiji will attempt to reinstate the memory erasure.
- All four are jossed. The issue only comes up in Yuzu's head, and the duel proceeds like a regular duel. In the end: Yuzu wins.
- Jossed.
- Recent scan leaves this up for debate.
- And now some people convinced he is a counterpart of Sora! Let's start making bets.
- Jossed after Episode 35. He has Yuya's face too.
- The 2nd ending also doesn't show Sora up to greet Yuya in the end like the others.
- Partially Jossed. He leaves You Show, but not to join LDS.
- Yuya vs Yuzo Tanegashima, the ace of the Surprise School who looks suspiciously similar to Yusho.
- Jossed. Gongenzaka is dueling this guy.
- Yuzu vs Mikiyo Naname, the ace of the Duel Girls Club. She also looks like a Fairy-type user.
- Confirmed.
- Gongenzaka vs Isao Kachidoki from the Ryozanpaku School, who looks like an Asian folklore-based fighter.
- Jossed. Yuya is dueling Kachidoki.
- Gongenzaka vs one of the Knight School. Samurai vs Knight.
- Jossed.
But, when he gets to tell Yuzu about Yuto, Yuzu will try to explain to him Yuto and Kurosaki's side of the story as she get to interact wth Yuto more than Yuya did. Yuya will then get furious that she has been keeping Yuto's existence secret and will see her bad for siding with someone that injured Sora. This will get a very bad stain on their relationship and will be a Deconstruction of The Power of Friendship theme that it's all around Yu-Gi-Oh series.
- Seems to be somewhat confirmed. While there is no strain so far on their friendship, this causes Yuya to side with Sora (or rather, the prospect of Yuto hurting Sora does.)
- Jossed. Aside from Yuya actually questioning Sora's motivations, he and Yuzu talk about the plot in episode 38.
- Jossed on two fronts: Sawatari became a Lancer, so now he's a major character again, and Yuto is Put on a Bus, so it's not likely he'll be a main character.
- Yuzu will show up, and since Yuya is there, Yuto will be teleported away by the bracelet, leaving the result inconclusive.
- This happens right as Yuto activates a Rank-Up-Magic.
- Seems to be Jossed, as the preview indicate that Yuto will be sticking around for a few episodes, but could still happen.
- This happens right as Yuto activates a Rank-Up-Magic.
- Des-Toy Scissor Bear will be unable to equip itself with Yuto's Spell Monster Cards, since they will be banished if they leave the field. Even if they would go to the graveyard. They are Spell Cards in the graveyard and not Monster Cards.
- Jossed. It successfully grabs an Xyz Monster.
- Or they pay him with cards. Remember Sawatari's trio?
- Welp, this was Jossed. Yugo's not even with Academia, and he's not a psycho, either.
- Possible but unlikely. Lightening the image gives you a pretty good view of the face, which has the same structure, in addition to the exact eye structure, as Yuya, Yuto and Yugo. It's most likely the Academia-aligned version of Yuya.
- The person is revealed to be Yuri. And judging from the face, it's apparently another Yuya-lookalike. Also, Yuri has no girlish eyelashes, so Yuri is probably a guy, regardless of the pink part of the hair.
- Jossed. It's Yuri.
Ruri's own brother believed Yuzu to be her, not upon first seeing her, but after hearing her voice, which is a more reliable indicator than looks. Yuto's reasoning that Yuzu can't be Ruri (because she uses Fusion) is flimsy at best. In a world where Fusion never had any of the negative connotations it has in Kurosaki and Yuto's homeworld, she has no reason to fear it. Yuzu's ace, Bloom Diva, may be a Fusion monster, but its effect is thematically similar to that of Kurosaki's ace: both are monsters that target Special Summoned monsters and gain strength from fighting them. Of course, it must be a happy coincidence that Yuzu's ace features the word Bloom — the second kanji of Kurosaki (presumably also Ruri's family name).
On a more meta level, the frequent cold cuts between Kurosaki and Yuzu when they're in the same scene together hint at a definite connection.
- A problem with that is that Yuzu has been friends with Yuya and Gon forever, and Ruri has not been missing nearly that long. Yuzu's dad has stated she always had the bracelet. So the most likely option is that Yuzu is a long lost twin sister or something.
- There's actually no real indication of how long they have been friends. We never get to see a young Yuzu interacting with young Yuya and young Gonzengaka. Likewise, we don't know when exactly Ruri disappeared, or how old she was. And if Reiji could insert Kurosaki seamlessly into LDS and make everyone believe he's always been there (it has to extend beyond the LDS trio—think of all the teachers, classmates, ...), surely it can't be too much of a problem to modify the memories of a handful of people. If Yuzu's had the bracelet the entire time she's been Shuzou's daughter, and Shuzou believes she's always been his daughter, then that logically extends to 'always had it'.
- Jossed. Ruri was seen in Ep. 38's preview, and just like Yuto in comparison to Yuya, Ruri looks like her, but with different hair (dark blue, like her brother) and eyes (green).
- Not necessarily. The girl introduced in Ep. 38 actually appears to be Yuzu's Fusion counterpart.
- Confirmed to be a girl named Serena.
- Check out this Tumblr post. Be sure to read both the original post (click "Read More") and the additional comments.
- Considering that Leo specifically called Yuzu the 'fourth piece' he needed, and that Yuri personally confirmed his capture of Ruri and Rin (Synchro Yuzu), I'd have to say this theory is jossed.
- Not necessarily. The girl introduced in Ep. 38 actually appears to be Yuzu's Fusion counterpart.
- Forever Jossed. We see Ruri in episode 75, and she's a different person.
- Jossed
- Alternatively, Kurosaki will freak out and try to hurt Yuya (Kurosaki does not really care about people who are not his comrades, after all). This will lead to Yuya being possessed by something dark again.
- Jossed. Kurosaki tries to talk to him when Reiji calls them both together, but Yuto emerges and calls him off.
- Jossed, he Fusion Summons and Xyz Summons two new DDD monsters, but no Ritual.
- This seems to be jossed at least partially. In the subs, Reiji's comment was more that he assumed that Yuya had Dark Rebellion Xyz Dragon than he knew what was going on with Yuya.
- Or because it is too easy for people to link of LSD because of the name.
- Jossed. It's actually LID.
- Mai, Aki, Rio... the track record for major female duelists is terrible thanks to the Yu-Gi-Oh! writers. But hey, if they maintain a solid level of badassery for Yuzu throughout the series, then good on them for improving.
- Actually, given Serena, who is effectively under lock and key and yet still manages to routinely bust out and kick a few asses before being caught again and has managed to flee across dimensions this time, I'm expecting Yuzu and her counterparts to pan out as the Damsel out of Distress trope, or at least cause some problems for their captors (this may be a bit optimistic, but I'd pay to see Yuzu, Serena, Ruri and Rin plan an elaborate breakout).
- Thankfully Jossed, though she comes close.
- Yuya yes, Yuzu no but is regarded as a honorary member.
- Kurosaki. Probably in the final or semi-finals, but he could also be an early opponent, so Yuya can clarify the confusion as soon as possible.
- Yuzu and/or Gongenzaka, probably rather Yuzu than Gongenzaka.
- One of the two LDS exchange students, Dennis and Halil. Possibly even both if he's "lucky".
- In the third round, Yuzu is dueling Halil and is tagging with Gongenzaka against Halil and Olga, the third exchange student. Yuya is tagging with Dennis against Takeda and Umesugi.
- Later on in the same round, Yuzu is dueling Dennis.
- In the third round, Yuzu is dueling Halil and is tagging with Gongenzaka against Halil and Olga, the third exchange student. Yuya is tagging with Dennis against Takeda and Umesugi.
- The ace of the Knight School. They do look suspicious.
- Unfortunately, in the end of Episode 44, all of the duelists from the Knight School has been carded.
- A member of Academia, who infiltrates the tournament.
- Not actually infiltrating, and they aren't participating in the tournament either, but Yuya duels the Obelisk Force.
- If episode 42's name and synopsis is any indication, a battle royale is going to happen.
- This might be unrelated to the MCS. My guess it would be Reiji vs Serena vs Yuri or Reiji vs Serena & Yuri.
- Recent magazine scans have confirmed the battle royale part. Yuya will duel two students from the Ryozanpaku Duel School.
- This might be unrelated to the MCS. My guess it would be Reiji vs Serena vs Yuri or Reiji vs Serena & Yuri.
- Due to the Battle Royale in the third round, a lot of of participants will be eliminated at once, so Yuya will participate in less rounds, but he possibly could duel more opponents than usually.
- Nico confirmed in episode 41 that the Battle Royale round will eliminate half the total number of players like any other round so it is likely that there will be 3 rounds afterwards left which is not less than a usual tournament.
- All entries are jossed; the tournament is canceled after the Battle Royale.
- Jossed in Episode 41. Reiji directly addressed Professor as "father".
- In line with the WMG about Kurosaki tracking down Yuya above, it may turn into a nastier Villainous Rescue.
- Jossed, Kurosaki is fighting the Knight-themed Duelists in a three-on one match, the one who pulls off the Big Damn Heroes moment is Dennis.
- Based on episode 50 and the previews to 51, jossed.
- Jossed.
- Additionally, the competitor whose identity he stole was Dennis. He attacked the real Dennis, put him into a card, and used some type of unexplained yet device from the Fusion Dimension to steal his likeness. That would mean that the Dennis we've been seeing is actually Yuri. The preview for episode 44 seems to support this theory, as it shows us Dennis getting creepily close to Yuzu, with her obviously feeling uncomfortable about it. As for his reason for helping out Yuya, I've got nothing.
- If that happens then his plan is going to backfire thanks to Serena, who has her eyes on carding Dennis thanks to seeing him Xyz summoning in his tag duel...and stopped watching the screen just seconds before her actual target, Kurosaki, appeared on-screen.
- Maybe, maybe not. Yuri is very likely a better duelist then Serena, so if she does target him (which is very possible) and Dennis really is Yuri in disguise, then I see one of two things happening. Either he pulls her to the side and changes back into Yuri to show her he's not an enemy (this scene could be used to show the viewers that Dennis isn't really Dennis, and maybe also to show that Yuri and Serena have a pre-existing relationship,) or he accepts to duel her and mops the floor with her. If it's the former, then Serena will go on her merry way to fine someone else to target and Yuri will be free to continue his plan. If it's the latter, then the duel will be used to show that there's more to "Dennis" then meets the eye (heck, the mere fact that he would be able to beat her is a pretty big red flag,) probably by having him say suggestive dialogue ("oh, are you really sure I'm an enemy?" type of things,) or by having him do some questionable things during the duel, or maybe both! Either way, I don't see Serena being too much of a problem for Yuri.
- OP here. I have my suspicions on Dennis even if he seems to be a nice guy. An explanation to why Yuri would help Yuya as Dennis, he might be putting him into some false sense of security. When he took Dennis's identity, he may have done some research on Dennis and probably learned that Dennis admired Yusho. I'm willing to bet that if Yusho is actually in or is somewhat connected with the Fusion Dimension/Academia, Yuri may have been informed on what is going on with Yusho. If Yuri is Dennis, I'm guessing that he is not as racist as Sora and Serena since he performed Xyz without a sweat...that or he is an opportunist.
- Episode 45 reveals that he has Polymerization which is odd since he is introduced as an exchange student of the Xyz course and that he was distracted when he noticed silhouettes of the Obelisk Force.
- Episode 45 also seems to imply that Dennis, in some way, knows Serena (or, at least is familiar with her deck,) since he inner monologues "Just as I thought" when she summons Moonlight Cat Dancer, seemingly meaning that he anticipated her summoning it. Serena, however, didn't recognize Dennis. So, how could Dennis know Serena, but Serena not know Dennis? Simple, Dennis is in disguise! It's possible she knows him, she just doesn't know she knows him. Now, if Dennis is Yuri then them knowing one another would make sense, because the show has seemingly been implying that all the Yuyas and Yuzus know each other.
- Though Dennis has Xyz summoned, he has not used Trapeze Magician to give the final blow, but as a means to an end, so to speak. He let Yuya give the final strike against the Ryozanpaku due and (curiously) switched his Xyz monster for Yuzu's Fusion monster. Just sayin'.
- If that happens then his plan is going to backfire thanks to Serena, who has her eyes on carding Dennis thanks to seeing him Xyz summoning in his tag duel...and stopped watching the screen just seconds before her actual target, Kurosaki, appeared on-screen.
- Jossed. Yuri appeared from a different dimension in Episode 46.
- Although, it should be noted that the Battle Royale lasts 24 hours, and they are more than just 32 Pendulum cards to collect, so even if you lose, you're not automatically eliminated.
- Also, none of the duelists bet both of his/her Pendulum Cards, so they won't get eliminated so soon anyway.
- Spoilers for episode 44 and 45 reveal that the three knights are going to be sealed into cards. So, they won't make it to the fourth round.
- Spoilers for episode 48 to 50 reveal that Michio will be sealed into a card and that Yuzu is missing. Yuzu disappeared with Yugo somewhere.
- In episode 47, Halil and Olga are "carded" by Yuri. The cards are currently in Yuzu's possession.
- Hikage and Teppei are also carded like Michio in episode 47.
- And considering his name lacking the obligatory "Jo", it would be revealed that his last name is "Jones".
- Dennis' last name is actually Macfield. Though he could still befriend Yuya.
- It's possible that he has a middle or first name with "Jo".
- Jossed: His role is to be The Mole.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. He is a Fusion agent.
- Jossed. Neither one has done such a thing.
- His true ace, the Fusion, will be some sort of Evil Sorcerer
- Jossed, it is just an Ancient gear monster.
- Yuya will end up with his old Xyz either taking it or being given it.
- Yuya will bring Sora back to the light
- Sora will start to change, but then get a Heel–Face Door-Slam.
- Yuya will go berserk again and crushes Sora and shocks him. Bonus points, if he's using his terrifying Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon.
- Jossed. Yuya does summon Odd-Eyes Rebellion Dragon, but the duel is ended by the Battle Royale ending with no winner.
- Jossed. Neither one has ever left their dimension.
- Going with that, depending on how old they are here, Yugo will be revealed to be Yusei or Jack's son.
- Jossed. He only knows Jack as a superstar, and doesn't recognize Crow.
- Jossed, as Rin is voiced by Sarah Emi Bridcutt. But Ruri is voiced by Rin Aizawa.
The Deuteragonist is Yuzu, who will be warped to various dimensions and come across different revelations about Academia's plans (and the whereabouts of Ruri and Rin) with the help of someone who will not interact with the Lancers, and will likewise wind up encountering Academia and being warped to the next dimension.
The two plots shall serve to create a Star-Crossed Lovers vibe between Yuya and Yuzu as well as set up other conflicts. The separation will also be exploited by Leo to aid his plans.
- Mostly jossed. Yuya and Yuzu are both participants of the Friendship Cup, which locks the participants in their rooms and doesn't allow Yuya and Yuzu to meet face to face.
- Jossed, it's a new card , Red Dragon Archfiend Scarright / Red Daemon's Dragon Scarright
- Jossed. They are forced to do harsh labor in the underground trash plant.
- Yuzu vs. Serena. Or Serena vs. the shadowy figure (if it is really Barrett)
- Tokumatsu vs. Sawatari.
- Yuya vs. Yugo (which will be interrupted)
- Dennis vs Kurosaki.
- Yuya vs. Kurosaki. (with Yuto possibly playing a role)
- Jossed: Tokumatsu vs Yuzu. Serena vs Tony, Yuya vs Duel Chaser 227, Sawatari vs Yugo, Dennis vs Kurosaki, Sergey vs Damon
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed as Roget takes over the Executive Council before he could offer the alliance in Episode 76. Even without Roget's interference, the council has expressed out loud that they have no wish to participate in the war.
- Jossed as Sora saves him from captivity next episode and obeys orders from the Professor to return home to Academia in order to report on current events. Dennis was reluctant to obey not because he's about to further do what Academia tells him to do but because he can longer continue his mission of eventually capturing Yuzu and Serena.
- Jossed.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. He knows the difference, and actually tries to make Reiji his ally at one point.
- With Shadow Maker I'd say they are halfway there. Though I'd say an Evil Sorcerer Monster Clown would be closer.
- Jossed. He switches archetypes after he abandons his entertainer persona.
- A duel monster that belongs to neither duelist.
- The appearance of Yuzu and/or Sora.
- Academia mooks invading.
- The appearance of Ruri.
- The Crimson Dragon.
- Jossed. Tanner fell and was holding onto Raikiri.
- Jossed. He tells Roget to stuff it (in politer terms) and gets thrown in prison for his trouble.
- Activation of the magical ability of Serena's bracelet.
- The arrival of Obelisk Force.
- Yuzu and Sora running around.
- An appearance of monster that is not theirs.
- Something supernatural.
- In the end, it was none of the above. What happened was that Roget changed the course mid-duel to help Serena win.
- Jossed in episode 87 and 88.
- Jossed, Yuri's dragon is called Starve Venom Fusion Dragon.
- Jossed.
- Jossed. It doesn't look they even know each other that much other than their names.
- Rumor is that it's a Synchro Pendulum monster.
- The preview for episode 97 confirmed that it is a level 10 Synchro Pendulum Monster.
- Jossed.
- Academia did invade but it was a small scale attack and during the night, so the tournament was unaffected.
He has too many differences to the many Yu's like a different face(specially those brows), a hair color that is closer to Yuya's hairstyle except with magenta instead of green, and dragon who is not only animated in traditional media instead of CGI like the other dragons(except Odd-Eyes before evolving) but also missing the mark on their naming convention(Dark Rebellion for the Resistance, Clear Wing for the City, Starve Venom for Academia?! Heck even Odd-eyes have a hyphen in his name like in the main title) and his deck is similar to a major enemies instead of the respective protagonist like the other Yu's.
- Except that Yuzu's bracelet teleported her and Yugo away when Yuri was approaching, which it wouldn't do unless he was a doppelganger.
- Also Yuri can synchronize/berserk with the other Yuyas thus he is strongly connected to them.
- Jossed. The Friendship Cup wasn't interrupted.
- Alternatively, it's gonna be a Meklord deck, to keep the references to 5D's.
- Jossed. He uses an Ancient Gear deck.
- Jossed. Edo is the Commander-in-Chief of Academia's forces and Asuka is the one who defected from Academia, not him.
- Jossed. She is an Academia student who persuaded Asuka to defect.
- Jossed. Sawatari and Gongenzaka stopped the Tyler Sisters in time. She was even seen in the preview of Episode 108.
- That contradicts with his aim of taking down Yusho (or simply You Show's leader).
- Jossed.
In conclusion, the only way I see Kurosaki dying in this episode is if his broken ribs act up.
- Episode 110's description confirms he's injured.
- Jossed. Kurosaki is still alive. He is in a healing pod in a Fusion base and came back in Episode 117
- Jossed. His loss against Yuya relieved him of his doubts.
- Jossed in a way. Kachidoki willingly went to Fusion because of Dennis. However, after his duel with Yuya, no one knows if he went back to Standard or not.
- Jossed. Dennis carded himself.
- Jossed. Rin is clearly doing the Fusion pose along with the Polymerization background, so it's a Fusion Monster.
- And if Ruri finds out that she killed her brother with her own hands, even though she was the Doctor's People Puppet at that time, she will be severely scarred for the rest of her life.
- Jossed. Ruri was able to go against her brainjacking and let her brother win the duel.
- Jossed.
- Edo and Kurosaki confirmed that the only possible way to completely free the girls from the Parasite Fusioners is defeating the Doktor first. Ruri is the living proof that just defeating the Parasite Fusioner is not enough.
- If defeating the Doktor is not even the case (mainly due to the Doktor knowing about the whole "destroy the core unit" tactic), then Yuya will have no choice but to kill the Parasite Fusioners within the Bracelet Girls with the possible risk of killing them. For extra difficulty, getting rid of the Parasite Fusioners might be proven useless.
- Jossed. Not only are Serena and Ruri completely fine despite taking a direct hit from Odd-Eyes Raging Dragon's Hangeki no Destruction Burst, they run away and trap Yuya in the Doktor's laboratory. And there are not mentally scarred at all.
- Let's look at the Fridge Brilliance section at an entry near the end that talks about how each of the Dragon Boys have a power that allows for creating a single person. Yuto has Xyz Overlaying, which allows for multiple beings to be as one person, Yugo has Synchronization which allows them all to get in tune with one another, and Yuri has Fusion, which makes them all come together to be one being. Yuya is the main deck filled with possibilites. The only summoning type not represented is Rituals, which in effect takes other monsters (with levels) and tributes them to become a whole new monster different from the others. This could mean that the Dragon Boys could survive, if in a completely different form or to fuel someone else to take their place.
- Now let's look at Supreme Dragon King Zarc's Pendulum effect. It cuts out Fusion, Xyz and Synchro Monsters effects, which cuts out on alot of the Extra deck. However, this effect doesn't harm Ritual Monsters, who can No-Sell this.
- The finale of the Anime could become one into the Original Dimension, which if the various animes took place in the same one, would be something entirely different (but still similar) to the other dimensions in storylines, which is somewhat like how Ritual Summoning is carried out.
- Jossed, he was defeated by the four spell cards Ray had.
- Looking unlikely, since Zarc has a Supreme King Servant Dragon version of Odd-Eyes, which slightly acts as a No-Sell towards Pendulum Monsters.
- Jossed, he was defeated by the four spell cards Ray had.
- Jossed, he was defeated by the four spell cards Ray had.
- Jossed, Zarc didn't get a final form.
- an embodiment of the spirit of Odd-Eyes! As How to Train Your Dragon taught us, dragons are giant fire-breathing cats. The fact that Core also has heterochromia iridium is irrefutable evidence of this fact! Core will grant Yuya a fusion card to summon the newly leaked Beast-Eyes Pendulum Dragon. ... After he returns Yuzu's Polymerization to her.
- We can already assume Yuto, Yugo, and Yuri will not have their names changed. Relatively English names such as Dennis and Leo may not be changed, either. It would also strike me as odd the change the names of Hikage and Tsukikage, as well. Halil and Olga, though they are foreigners, aren't from Japan, so their names getting changed isn't likely.
- He obviously sees himself as The Hero in the fight against Academia, and his personal crew is called the Lancers. Hmm...
- Otherwise stuff like Edo Phoenix and Isao Kachidoki changing their minds in a jiffy seems way too unbelievable.
- To prevent children's trading cards from destroying the world. He has watched the previous Yu-Gi-Oh! series, and has realized that such card games are extremely dangerous, what with all the Shadow Games, gods, demons, cosmic powers, Zero Reverses, and even aliens involved with them. So, by monopolizing Duel Monsters using the Leo Corporation, he can minimize threats to society. Furthermore, by assimilating all Duel Schools under LDS, he can easily identify Duelists capable of wielding powerful cards, so that he can appoint them to be safekeepers of such cards and guardians of society. He will eventually explain his plans to Yuya, offering him a prestigious position in LDS as well as appointing him to be the guardian of powerful Pendulum Cards, however Yuya will refuse and turn the whole thing into an Aesop about individual choices and free will prompting Reiji to Heel–Face Turn and rectify his actions.
- Considering his comments about the "Lancers Selection," this may have some truth to it.
- Probably nothing so meta, but I do support a three way duel between those three.
- But if this duel happens and someone makes an Abridged Series of Arc-V then the abridged version will probably be to decide the main character.
- While not to decide the main character...it appears that it might actually be happening.
- Odd-Eyes with feathery wings would be hilariously weird. As for Yuya, he may be a Winged Humanoid in his past life.
- Yeah, about that... it turns out that Zarc's original form had wings - demonic bat wings that look like the Destiny Gundam's backpack, but still, they were wings; curiously enough, despite being a fusion of Yuya and his counterparts, Zarc still has Yuya's hair. So partially confirmed.
- Shun is childhood freinds with Yuzu but a tragic incident relating to the math tournement tore them apart. I am not gonna expect Shun to be this Emo for no reason maybe Yuzu purposely lost causing Shun to distance himself.
- Ruri will be a Cool Big Sis to Sora. Simply for Suprise factor.
